174_block 3: innovative practices and projects ABSTRACT It is known that indoor air is affected by outdoor air, thanks to the various studies that have been conducted in this area, the causes can be varied, from infltration of buildings, natural or mechanical ventilation. Although it is known that transportation is one of the major contributors to this problem, studies have concluded that there is a proportion of pollutants coming from 'non-specifc sources of human origin', all this emphasizes the importance of identifying and quantifying the sources of air pollution. The intention of this research project, is to characterize and quantify the pollutants that are emitted from residential buildings through their ventilation systems, and how such exhalation affects urban air quality both outdoors and, through recapture, indoors. The design of a viable methodology for monitoring two residential buildings in Pamplona (Spain) has been proposed, involving aspects such as the extension of the city where the buildings selected for the project are located, their typology, the areas destined for the ventilation systems, the equipment chosen for the quantifcation of pollutants and the procedure to be followed. All this procedure represents the core of the monitoring process. Thanks to this methodology, the researchers intend to present results of the quantifcation of pollutants such as Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Methane (CH 4 ), Particulate Matter (PM), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), resulting from the exhalation of residential buildings. These results are the foundation for demonstrating how residential buildings can become another source of pollution for urban environments.

INTRODUCTION Outdoor air pollutants are signifcant factors infuencing the levels of the main indoor air pollutants (Hänninen and Goodman 2019) (Karagulian et al. 2015). Research on the relationship between type of residence and health is being carried out, but evidence is still partial and fragmentary, and often subjective or difcult to adscribe to specifc causes rather than general factors.
